Working to better ensure the protection ofpublic health and drinking water across westernPennsylvania and northern West Virginia

What We Do

RAIN's objective is to aid in the protection of our rivers and improve public health by making source water the top priority. With our Early Warning Spill Detection System we aim to alert water treatment facilities about contamination before it can spread downstream. We hope to educate the public on source water and help everyone understand how important water is to our health and in our every day lives.

Goals

SAFEGUARDDRINKINGWATER

RAIN's Early Warning Spill Detection System alerts water treatment facilities when the monitoring equipment notices an irregular parameter reading. This gives them time to take preventative measures.

PROMOTEENVIRONMENTALCOLLABORATION

Our member network of over 50 and our many partnerships allow for collaboration on projects and ideas working towards protecting our rivers and our public health.

LEVERAGETECHNOLOGY TOSOLVE PROBLEMS

We have 23 monitoring sites that utilize modern technology to gauge the quality of the water, based on a number of different parameters throughout the Ohio River Basin.

EXPANDSOURCE WATERKNOWLEDGE

We monitor water at the source. Our interactive map displays the results online in real-time. This information can be used to educate the public and expand knowledge about source water protection.
